one great picture

[RLR]

Go to J-Dub Meyer's Facebook page and if like me, you will absolutely drool over a picture of 10 to 12 "F" roundabouts sitting side by side ready for 3 minute gun to go off. If I was smart enough I would post it here. Sent shivers down my spine thinking of that wonderful sound of the send off from them firing up the loopers and Merc's at the same time. Good viewing. Hopefully someone can figure it out how to post it. Makes great screensaver.

1100's

Ray - The C-123 boat is Brad Geslers 1100R when he had a Merc 6 with Gene Folger I think as his deck rider. And also a Great shot of Howards boat and Casey Parson's C-153 with Freddy Nishizaki his rider.

Ray

The only thing better to me than running 1100r with that many in a heat was watching the video and hearing the all time best announcer Ray Rodda announcing the race. If you have not had the pleasure to hear RLR announce you are missing one great announcer and Great Friend!!! Ray you always got us pumped up just hearing you announce us when we were getting staged to race.

Thanks for all you do for boat racing!!!!
Ray- Alan Ishi and I were talking last weekend about a Depue trip but neither of us like flying lol

Todd,

Looks like I am going to have the fire up the van and come get you guys back to Depue....LOL.

Hope that your health is good! Happy New Year

I rode with Dale Ropp a in formula E runabout a few times, one of the most notable times was at the 1989 nationals at mountain home Ar, Talk About A Total Blast In A Race Boat! What A Riot!

My Granddaughter was deck rider for Brian Payne at depue this year in 1100 runabout in Our Krier runabout with a Konny engine.
She did finish 3rd and has her plaque on the wall along with several pictures--its all she can talk about ever since.
Ray did her and Brian proud with the expert commentary I can still hear him on the Mic.
Truly a crowd pleaser and one of the best shows in the Pro's

And A Little More

Pat,

That is awesome. Also, a couple of rides were raffled to fans at DePue. Derek Gesler and Mike Thirlby took two lucky riders on the race course and ran a couple of hot laps in front of the crowd. This was very well received. Something could be done with a Formula E. BTW - Appropriate waivers were signed and required paperwork was completed to keep it all "square". A nice manner to race some $$'s and maybe land a new racer.
